Learn to dance in a fun & friendly environment
Our classes are fun and instructive and you may join at any time. Classes progress each week with some moves repeated and new moves added with techniques explained so that you can build up a portfolio of moves whilst learning how to lead and follow your partner in the correct manner.
We cater for absolute beginners and intermediate levels; you'll learn great moves whilst enjoying the atmosphere and listening to great music.
Wear casual clothing, flat soled shoes and come with a sense of fun, we'll provide the rest!

Our new Tuesday Morning line dancing is proving popular - see the classes page for details.
Jive Classes
Jive is an almalgam of Swing and latin dance moves; we teach to traditional swing and modern music.
Beginners & Intermediates
Beginners moves are easy to learn; no prior dance experience is needed, you can join at any time. Intermediate moves are variations of standard moves and new patterns for you to enjoy; as they are more complex you should have attended at least 1 beginners course and feel comfortable with those moves.

Stroll Classes
( Line Dancing )
A stroll is a fun choreographed group dance to swing music, very similar to line dancing; no prior dance experience is needed, and no partner is required as it is a solo effort. Examples are the Rock'n'roll stroll and the Shim Sham.
